AN INTRODUCTION TO PHONICS

As a former Early year Teacher, myself I can't stress enough the importance of an awareness of letter sounds in a young child's learning journey as it is the foundation upon which all other literacy skills can be built.

Teaching it consistently & with enthusiasm is key to a child's progression.

About this Course

The teaching of Phonics is outlined by the DfE Letters & Sounds document. However, there are many different schemes & approaches, that you may encounter in school.

​

If you are looking for work in KS 1, it is essential to know how to deliver phonics & don't feel out of your depth as pupils are taught it daily & discretely.

​

If you are from Overseas, this is also a great opportunity for you to master the pronunciation of the letters & sounds.  

If you have been out of the profession for some years, it is great for refresher training

Course Content

We will focus on the fundamental ideas behind phonics teaching, necessary to develop strong reading & writing skills further into Key Stage 2.

The course material comes from the DfE Letters & Sounds Documents.

​

Through video analysis we will look at the important key differences between 'segmenting' & 'blending' & the 6 phases of phonics.

​

This session will include lots of group participation & interactive activities.

We aim to develop your knowledge & confidence in  delivering your own phonics session
